A Sign It May Be a Good Time to Move

There are so many factors that affect your decision on moving i.e. finding affordable real estate, age, retirement or job opportunity but many expatriates do not consider the exchange rate. The volatility of the recent currency markets have dramatically affected expatriates with their savings in U.S. Dollars or British Sterling while individuals who have theirs accounts in Euros have seen unprecedented volatility in the currency markets with the value of sterling fluctuating by over 30 per cent against the euro.

Volatility usually smooths out over the long-term, but it is definitely something to consider in the near term.
